THE countdown is on for Euro 2024 – and the
England Wags are glamming up for their most epic comeback to date. At the 2022 World Cup, hosts Qatar curbed their enthusiasm with a blanket ban on booze, swearing and boob-flashing
fashion. England’s WAGS stole the show at
World Cup 2006, and this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament is the first held in
Germany since Credit: PA:Press Association With three months to go until the Euros kick-off in Germany, they are pulling out all the stops — and there is a host of new faces on the scene. England boss Gareth Southgate is still considering his final squad. But fans hope to see fresh talent such as Tottenham’s James Maddison and West Ham star Jarrod Bowen, whose partners Kennedy Alexa and Dani Dyer are expected to join veterans Katie Kane, wife of skipper Harry, and Sasha Attwood — Jack Grealish’s other half — in the stands. From June 14, our new-gen Wags will sprinkle their glamorous magic across Germany with a super-squad of private nannies, hairdressers and make-up artists. There are rumours of a Wag take-over at a German castle and a £5,000-a-day coach which features a bar, kitchen, beds and gaming consoles for the kids. They are set to rival the antics of original Wags such as Victoria Beckham, Cheryl [then Tweedy] and Coleen McLoughlin [now Rooney], who spent £1million shaking up the sleepy town of Baden-Baden at the 2006 World Cup. Brand and culture expert Nick Ede says: “The past four years have been a time when the Wags have had to lie a bit low and be far more conservative than they may have been in previous years. “Now it’s time for them to rise like a phoenix from the flames and pluck and prune like it was 2006.” This is the line- up of new Wags ready to roar on the Three Lions.

Tottenham midfielder James started dating 28-year-old Kennedy in 2020. And since the former Leicester City favourite, 27, was picked for the Qatar World Cup squad in 2022, his girlfriend has officially earned Wag status. Lies, deceit and betrayal – what life as a WAG can really be like The model, who has worked for Aussie clothing firm Princess Polly and US swimwear brand Montce, lived in
Los Angeles before finding love with James. Kennedy, mum to their toddler Leo and baby twins Delilah and Rome, has settled easily into Wag life. She has been snapped soaking up the sun in
HAWAII and Miami, and even took a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Prickly Pear Island in the Caribbean. Kennedy celebrated the new year with a girls’ trip to Antigua, with sunset sails, beach drinks and ice baths with a view – fabulous preparation for her summer of footie. Anthony Gordon’s girlfriend Annie Keating keeps a low profile on
Social Media Credit: NEWCASTLE winger Anthony is one of our most-talked- about young players – and Annie has been cheering him on all the way to the top. The couple, who are both from Liverpool, have known each other since they were children. Annie may be one of the Wags who keeps a lower profile at the Euros, as she is not one to regularly post to any social media channels. She will take a step back to let 23-year-old Anthony shine this year, even if it means they end up going without a summer holiday. The ex-Everton man said he was not going to shy away from his aim of going to the Euros. Talking about booking a holiday, he said: “I don’t think that I should. “My missus has been nagging me, ‘Can we book a holiday? Places are getting full. “I’ve told her, ‘Germany is very nice’.” Meet the WAGs of

She is also often spotted cheering for her man at matches, so she is bound to fit right in and make plenty of noise for the Three Lions on their quest in Germany.
